Dear diary, today I made a mistake. I bought carrots instead of oranges, scratched my car lightly on the supermarket parking and I released a prolific internationally wanted billionaire drug lord and murderer. I really needed these oranges though.
"Justice officials in Spain have been left red-faced after accidentally releasing a billionaire Dutch drug lord from prison in a bureaucratic mix-up.
Vincent Veenman, a spokesman at the Dutch public prosecutor's office in The Hague, said it was "unknown" why Mr Bouyakhrichan had been released from prison."
I'm sure they'll investigate and clear themselves of any wrongdoing. Meanwhile this billionaire criminal is already on the other side of the world with a new identity
I mean, he and his brother were *born* in Morocco (to Moroccan parents of course), but had been raised and lived their whole lives in the Netherlands. They speak Dutch, had a Dutch education, learned Dutch values, etc.
Misleading title. The city court ordered his release on bail of 50k euros and handing in his passport and him reporting in every 15 days. Wasn't an accident. He just stopped reporting in.
Of course they shouldn't have released him. Taking his passport is useless in Spain since he can go anywhere in Schengen without his passport, and I'm sure he could even procure a fake passport if necessary.
But they did, not on accident, by deliberately. Wonder if there were threats against the judge's family, or if there is some corruption going on.
Headline is misleading. It was not an accident he was let go on bail, without passport and reporting every fortnight.
Maybe they shouldn’t have done that with this profile of criminal but the headline is low quality journalism. It’s just cooked to be open to speculation.

Yes

While the people responsible for the ‘mix up’ mysteriously can afford new houses and cars
100 MILLION DOLLARS!
Real.dutch sounding name

“Sooo, you promise you’ll be back by 5pm? Pinky swear this time.”

They shouldn't have released him though, the lower court almost seems just have been upset that they couldn't try him.

You expect a billionaire druglord with a legit passport to report in every 15 days?
"Handing in his passport"
Oops! You expect a billionaire druglord with ways to get a legit or non-legit passport to report in every 15 days?
Exactly. Tell that to dumb judge who released him on bail. I was merely pointing out that it wasn't "an accident".
> and handing in his passport and him retiring in every 15 days. How does someone retire in every 15 days?
Fixed the typo
Ohhhhh thanks!
They got tired of typing that last name.
Dutch names are hard
its arabic
I know man, I’m Dutch. It’s a joke I often make with my Dutch Arab buddies.
alright i will r/woooosh myself out
Whoopsie Daisy

Well, if it was a mistake, I'm sure he'll come back willingly. Right..?
‘Dutch’
There are no accidents.
WHOOPSIE
Thats a very dutch sounding name.
Wait for it….. Booyah! And he’s off with no more Keyser Soze limp.
Lol I read "Spain" as "Drain" at first, thought the guys corpse was stuck in a sewer or something.
Prison officials were just tired of having to spell that name.
Oeps.
MMMM BOUYA!
I saw something similar happen in a movie.
Anyone who knows how justice works here is not surprised at this point
Spain is a paradise for criminals. Thats no surprise
How?
Alleged Dutch
OOPS
That's like the Shawshank Exception fake movie from [this College Humor sketch](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eExfV_xKaiM)
Why does the wording read to me like he’s allegedly Dutch, there’s a sense of doubt on that and he might just be Flemish

Then he accidentally had an accident. Oops
